Tbedford's Black-Draught has
saved doctors' bills for more than
sixty years. For the common fam
ily ailments, such as constipation,
indigestion, hard colds, bowel com
plaints, chills and fever, bilious
ness, headaches and other like
complaints no other medicine is
necessary. It invigorates and reg
ulates the liver, assists digestion,
stimulates action of the kidneys,
purifies the blood, and purges the
bowels of foul accumulations. It
, cures liver complaint, indigestion,
sour stomach, dizziness, chills,
rheumatic pains, sideache, back
ache, kidney troubles, constipation,
diarrhoea, biliousness, piles, hard
colds and headache. Every drug
gist has Thedford's Black-Draught
in 25 cent packages and in mam
moth size for $1.00. Never accept
a substitute. Insist on having the
original made by the Chattanooga
Medicine Company.
I believe Thedford's Black-Draught
is the best medicine on earth. It is
good for any and everything. I have

RIDDLE.
God made Adam of the dust,
But thought it best to make me first,
So I was made before the man,
According to God's holy plan,
My body He did make complete,
But without legs, arms or feet,
My ways and actions did control.
And 1 was made without a soul.
But God in me did something see,
And put a living soul In me;
A soul in me the Iord did claim,
And took from me that soul again.
nd when from me that soul had fled,
was the feame as when first made,
But without legs, arms, feet or soul,
travel from pole to pole.
An Allegory.
Now, upon a time, says Judge, there
were two swrains, and each loved the
same tair laciy. upon a aay tney
came unto the damsel and the first
made ppeech unto her, saying:
"Behold, I am consumed with the
fires of devotion for you. I would
go to the ends of the world for you.
Whereat she responded, "Go": And
he went out in great happiness, be
lieving that when he had sought
the end of the world he should have
her haud.
Then came to her side the second
swain, much cast down in spirit and
exceeding heavy of heart.
"Oh, fair one!" he sighed "I would
not go to the end of the world for
vou'but I would goto the end of
the world with you!"
"Come," she said.
This teaches us that the way to
make 'em happy is to make 'em hap
py with us.

A passage from Beethoven's
"Moonlight Sonata" is recommended
by Mrs. Augusta Vicellus, the high
priestess of the cult, as a sure cure
for fever. For paralysis, take huge
doses of Wagner. Why not plenty

extreme melancholy? Why not a
lullaby or a swing song for insomnia
or distorted nerves? Why not
"Hark! from the. tomb a doleful

performing its natural functions'
Why not a bit of a waltz music for
a broken leg or a paean of praise for
lockjaw. Since
Music hath charms to sooth the
savage,
To melt a rock or split a cabbage,
what is there to prevent the belief
that it has power to heal broken
limbs, cracked heads and decayed
tissue, or even to "minister to mind
diseases?"
We are advancing so rapidly in a
